A pumpkin tale

Forget green I always say. Orange is where it's at. My pumpkin house is easy to heat, totally ecological and the insects handle all the recycling. It only has one room, but I don't really need more.

With my best friend Munchkin girl coming over, it's time for something a little more formal. Of course, she was late as usual.

• Suit: dimbula rose - Munchkin Boy (mmm Halloween hunt gift until October 31st)
• Shoes: QP -  Orange Beast (50l, different version blogged here)
• Lamps: Natas Designs - Hanging Pumpkin Lanterns (October subscriber gift)

She finally made it, mumbling something about a 12 broom pile-up out near the yellow brick interchange. We caught up on the latest gossip, Munchy mostly dissing Mother Goose (a lush) and Rapunzel (extensions) - I won't repeat the names she used. Anyway, here we are watching the pumpkins grow.

It was getting late and Munchkin girl said she had to be off. Powering up her broom, she  turned to wave...

It must have been the pumpkin schnaaps because she seemed a little wobbly, swerving just within reach of Boris, the spider who keeps guard over my house. I don't think she ever saw it coming...

• Bodysuit: Rotten Defiance - "Richard Simmons taught me everything I know" - Lace Bodysuit Orange (October Store Hunt Gift-- gifts spread throughout the 1st floor in the white skulls) 
• Make-up: SyS - Demon Makeup (FTLO boo-for-2 Hunt #15 until October 31st)

Some notes about the hunts: The mmm Halloween hunt has a small number of gifts all located in the same general area. There are no hints, just click all the pumpkins until you find the items. However, there are also tons of decoys. Without the generous assistance of Juliet Broono, I would never have found the munchkin outfits. Special hint from me: Pumpkins don't always grow on the ground.

The FTLO boo-for-2 hunt is also different. Every participating store has two gifts, one male and one female.The catch is that only one of the two items is free. There are no hints and all the gifts are located on the same sim.

Three the easy way

Here are three casual looks with lots of things from Hunting 9 (ends October 9th), which is a must: there are only 9 stores, they are all great and the gifts are high quality (get the required hud from any participating store and don't forget the bonus prize when you have completed the hunt).

The skin (essences) & shape (census by Eden Knoller) were both found at the Free*Style 4.44.444 event (ends Oct. 14).
